Pūrnimānta : Suppressed between sunrise on Wednesday, 12 February, A.C. 1259 and sunrise on the next day. Amānta : Caitra was intercalary. First Caitra, ba.di. 4 = Friday, 14 March, A.C. 1259 Second Caitra, ba,di. 4 = Saturday, 12 April,
A.C. 1259 As the given tithi is found to be suppressed in the expired Kārttikādi according to the Sūrya Siddhanta, it would be tempting to apply it to the current Caitrādi system, according to which the given tithi would fall on Wednesday, 4 April, A.C. 1257
But the given date well tallies in the expired system according to the Brahma Siddhānta, as it commenced 14 m. 40 se. before local sunrise on the given date, though it commenced about 1 h. 44 m. after local sunrise on that day.
